Travel for a month, use the second month to get on a solid diet and exercise regimen.

If diet and exercise already in place, travel for 3 months

Had 3 months before starting my current job and planned to travel, read, see friends and family. Ended up having multiple panic attacks and debilitating anxiety to get under control for most of the time despite never having those symptoms before. I think because I finally wasn’t focused on day to day problems I really started feeling my deeper, more subconscious stressors. It mostly went away when I started my new job. Drove me to therapy though to try and figure that sh*t out lol

I am looking to book a trip this spring from Austin to Zurich (Amsterdam as the layover on the way back). If we decided to travel from Zurich to Amsterdam via train, could we board the layover flight to get home? Or will the airline (KLM/Delta) cancel our flight when we don’t show up to the Departure location?
